The name on this marquee, Manos, is what sets this photograph apart from the other movie-house views here. Marquees like this one were the main way a cinema advertised its current feature, with letters changed by hand and lights along the edge so the building could be read from down the block. The black-and-white film of the period captures the glare and deep shadow of the facade, which makes the lettering stand out. Readers who know the 1966 low-budget horror film *Manos: The Hands of Fate* may notice the shared title, though this record does not connect the two.
